GDT: Around the League - Stanley Cup Edition - Round #3 [Final 4]

[Gallagbi]

Marchand for Rielly (signed) - who says no?

 

[Gallagbi]

Trots is saving Lou again. Pretty amazing.
Also if Bruins make a surprising coaching change, we should seriously consider Cassidy.

Don't be that guy, Isles look solid and they've made good acquisitions. They have some bad deals, but they also have key Lou players doing well.

 

[Trapper]

NY has been taking the opportunity to really lean on McAvoy when the can.

That’s his you play in the playoffs. Any D can be a top 2 D if they aren’t ever under pressure. You have to wear teams down and get dirty.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Massive statement by the Isles that period.

 

[All Mod Cons]

I miss Lou so much.

McAvoy has always been prone to mistakes

The Bruins.

 

[DarkKnight]

I miss Lou so much.

It’s funny how anyone can shit on the guy, he literally wins everywhere he goes.

 

[hamzarocks]

Marchand for Rielly (signed) - who says no?

Bruins laugh and hang up. I hate the rat but he's better than any leaf right now and his past 5-year prime would be up there (maybe at the top) as the best 5-year prime ever for a leafs player.

Rielly is my favorite player but he doesn't net Marchand

 

[Trapper]

Don't be that guy, Isles look solid and they've made good acquisitions. They have some bad deals, but they also have key Lou players doing well.

Seriously. Anyone saying that Trotz is saving Lou or the Bruins are chokers just make this fiasco look worse.

 

[1specter]

Man are the Leafs a f***ing joke. This team truly does reinvent ways to embarrass itself who would've thought that with the Islanders losing JT/the Leafs acquiring him, they would be the first ones to beat Boston in a playoff series and win multiple rounds...

Dude. Stop. Lol. Shanahan f***ed up when he let Lou go for Dubas.

Lou is the better GM AINEC. Deal with it.

 

[Gallagbi]

The Bruins.

Think so? They have Marchand at 6+ mill until he's 38 (5 more years) and no D. Best UFA option is a guy they ran out of town

You make more when someone shoulders you to the head when you get to close.
I like Palmeri. He’s got bite.

That Zajac + Palmieri TDL deal was a stroke of.genius IMO.

It’s not even who’s better, it’s the fact you can’t admit Lou was and is a good GM. So insecure.

 

[weems]

Ya the Bruins got worked that period and looked very fatigued.
That will happen when the opposing team is is hitting everything in sight and making life hard on your best players.

Everytime you touch the puck you think someone is going to run you over and that leads to mistakes.

You watch games like this and its pretty depressing that our team plays the way we do.

 

[Gallagbi]

Some guys can thrive in those situations, but he isn't one of them. I think the Isles have him, but bad decisions and looking confused isn't new to him. High highs and lows lows.

 

[socko]

Someone should tell Kyle Palmieri that he has something on his teeth.

 

[mikeyz]

It’s not even who’s better, it’s the fact you can’t admit Lou was and is a good GM. So insecure.

So it's a coincidence that ever since Lou left, the Leafs have gotten exponentially worse and the Islanders have gotten exponentially better?

 

[Trapper]

Put the spreadsheet down you gotta know who can perform when it counts. It’s not in the Corsi.

Looks like the Bruins season tonight on his teeth.
Spinach and bear for supper.

Seems like we've gained talent, but stayed relatively consistent in the teams abilities.

Islanders have definitely bought into their one team approach, not sure it's what he was building here though

 

[Gary Nylund]

Thornton?

 

[socko]

Thornton?

I'm guessing Dougie Hamilton.
